in answer to your problem i think ive found something to fix that you see i too had that problem and i was at a little quilt show last weekend and i purchased 2 ruler things called a triangle genie and a triangle genie jr. the lady was demonstrating them and it seemed fool proof. the regular sized one does up to 5 in size and the jr only does 2 1/2 in
size as my mom in law makes a lot of little quilts and we always share toys and fabric i bought it mostly for her. it came from a store called monarch quilts however theres a website listed on the back of
www.timetoquilt.com . theres also a video on youtube showing the demo they really werent that expensive at least not if you count the frustration youll be missing out on. the small one was 14.00 and the larger one was 17.00 and you might find them cheaper i just saw them and thought theyd be awesome.
